Straight Curtis gets roped in to help find Bianca's dad Gavin someone to make him happy but Curtis just can't seem to see anyone good enough for his best friend. This was a nice read - a tad predictable perhaps - but a pleasant way to spend a december evening. I enjoyed Curtis' internal dialogue the most, that was funny! I'd recommend this for other suckers for friends-become-lovers and family stories and anyone looking for some light-hearted fun!
LOL I really loved this story. It was funny and cute. You may send this item to up to five recipients. The name field is required. Please enter your name. The E-mail message field is required.

His straight friend Curtis, did I mention Gavin isn't having any luck in the love department? Curtis lives in the same building as Gavin, Gavin is gay, he lives in a very gay friendly building Oscar Wilde apartments! Curtis lives in the same building as Gavin, but he is NOT gay, he is so not gay he has entire conversations with himself in his head telling himself that he is not gay. I mean Bianca, the very mature and by far smartest 10 year old ever had it right when she said she was smarter than Gavin and Curtis put together.

Alll these short novellas have been the sort that leave you feeling warm,fuzzy and contented.
Just right for curling up in front of a warm fire, with a bowl of nibbles, a glass of something sparkling and your new Xmas Jammies. Still enjoyable but on reflection I would probably rate it a 3. Dec 23, Lexi Ander rated it really liked it. So sweet and funny. I laughed through the whole date with Blue.
This is a great feel good read that I will definitely pull out again. Dec 04, Serena Yates rated it really liked it Shelves: This story made me laugh, grin at Bianca's cleverness, and sigh in happiness at the end. What more could you want from a Christmas story? As far as I am concerned, any story, really, but the fact that this one is set around Christmas makes it even more special.
I liked all three characters yes, even stubborn, blinders-wearing Curtis , and the love they shared was wonderful to witness. The fact that their antics, some of them disturbingly realistic, made me laugh on top of that was a bonus. Gavin This story made me laugh, grin at Bianca's cleverness, and sigh in happiness at the end. Gavin is a great guy, and the fact that he's raising his daughter Bianca on his own, after her mother died when she was very young, may have changed his life, but he welcomes it.
He has a crappy job and works long hours so he can give her everything she deserves, and is as devoted as any father could be. There is only one problem, or so Bianca thinks now that she's ten: Gavin has his own thoughts about that, but Bianca is determined to see him happy. Curtis has become Gavin's best friend ever since he moved into the apartment across the hallway from where Gavin and Bianca live.
He loves Bianca, and Gavin, but he doesn't want to admit the latter. He thinks he is straight. In fact, he spends most of the story trying to convince himself he wants a woman, because he is desperate to have a family. He is such an idiot, refusing to acknowledge what is right in front of his nose. But once he does? The sparks definitely fly! If you like Christmas stories with lots of heart, if you enjoy tales that make you laugh and sigh, and if you're looking for a story with characters so real they seem to want to jump off the pages, you will probably like this novella as much as I did.

Gavin and Curtis are the best of friends. Gavin is in love with the straight Curtis, but they both put this aside in order to maintain their friendship. Curtis is not gay, he wants children. There was a confusing moment when a flashback occurs sh Reviewed for Hearts On Fire Reviews This story was like Christmas hot chocolate with marshmallows. There was a confusing moment when a flashback occurs showing how they met. It was so abruptly thrown in that I had to reread the beginning twice before I realized, oh, flashback!
Other than that, I liked the writing very much. Then there is Bianca, a lovely girl who decides her daddy needs a boyfriend and starts the plan in motion. She and Curtis try to set Gavin up with funny and frustrating results Preston the snob, especially! While you may want to scream at Curtis, ultimately it is endearing and charming and everything Gavin deserves, which is a brilliant daughter and a loving boyfriend, without yucky or buttholes or dingleberries.
